There is nothing in the SOFTBALL rules that says the runners must retouch/tag up after a non-catch. So they do not have to.

EXACTLY! On any
other flyball, the runners do not have to retouch their base after the ball is touched (and dropped) by the fielder. But in the case of the IFF, they do. Otherwise, why would MLB say "retouch and advance after the ball is touched?"
